It’s just after midnight here on the East Coast, and we suddenly have a new song from DIIV. The New York guitar-rock band has issued the first taste of new LP Is the Is Are, and it’s a track called “Dopamine” that fairly complex in its rhythm and kinda uplifting.
Listen to it below via Soundcloud.
Meanwhile, Zachary Cole Smith and the lads will open for British shoegaze legends RIDE for three dates starting later this week (but not in Boston), then head out on a fall tour across North America that hits the Sinclair in Cambridge on October 10.
Just in time for the tour, Is the Is Are is expected to drop sometime next month via Captured Tracks.
Oh great, it's already started
